Ask HN: Talks and articles re: being Head of Engineering (especially by women)?

7 pointsby greyivyalmost 4 years ago
Hey HN!<p>I&#x27;m a tech lead on track to become Head of Engineering at a startup and I&#x27;d love to hear from folks who&#x27;ve been around the block (especially if you&#x27;re a woman or part of another underrepresented group).<p>Talks, articles, Twitter handles, or anything else would be appreciated!<p>Thank you!

If you&#x27;ve not read The Manager&#x27;s Path by Camille Fournier, you should.<p>If you are interested in talking directly with a head of eng who&#x27;s been around the block, hit me up (email in profile) and I should be able to get you in contact with a woman who has gone from a teammate to lead to manager to a sr manager to director to sr director in a company that went from 30 people to going public with a few hundred people to being acquired and still growing to over 5k people, and who is now taking over eng at a smaller company. They are busy, but I could share your contact info.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Managers-Path-Leaders-Navigating-Growth-ebook&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B06XP3GJ7F&#x2F;ref=nodl_" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Managers-Path-Leaders-Navigating-Grow...</a>
